I worked with Megen Campbell at the Missouri Attorney General’s Office. She is one of the best attorneys I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is thorough, clever, and tenacious. She’s also professional and passionate about serving her clients. I refer people to her every week!

After hesitation for a couple years, I finally went through with getting an attorney for custody rights. I am so glad Megan was assigned to me and I accepted. She kept me informed the whole way through. She explained everything to me so I would understand. She was quick to reply on my questions. It went smooth and fast from beginning to end. If I need anything in the future, I certainly will use Megan again. I can’t thank her enough!

Erin was an amazing attorney! She listened to everything I needed and wanted, she was always quick to respond and extremely helpful to someone who had no clue what the process was! She moved quickly, saving me time and money! I only wish she was the first attorney I got because she closed my case out so fast after years of trying with other attorney’s! She made the process so easy for me even while I was deployed to Kuwait halfway around the world! If I ever need anything in the future, I’m asking for her directly, because she gets stuff done! Absolutely wonderful experience with her! I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me and getting me my deserved time with my children!

Megan J Campbell handled my case and if you legit are looking for someone worth every cent she’s 1000% worth it , I’m a single father that was hit with everything you can imagine false allegations ,restraining order the works ! She set things up to where every move hit a mark. This firm is super pricey but if you want to win or minimum get equal access to your child from a system that’s meant to destroy some men do what you have to do and work with them even if you choose to go with a cheaper place they’ll make sure you’re in a extremely extremely good winning position. Remember guys without you in their lives , they grow up believing anything fight for them with someone who’ll win.
